The Stop&Think method enables companies to capture expertise in order to consistently make profitable decisions.
The increasing complexity of work is causing information breakdown and loss,
resulting in decisions lacking accuracy and pace.
(See Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster).
Poor knowledge retention causes skills to be mis-directed and wasted on rework. Organizational expertise never fully emerges.
Stop&Think is an analytical methodology that solves problems permanently by using employee intelligence to fuse data directly into accurate, measurable and reusable sets of knowledge known as
warfighter's infospheres.
Implementation is inexpensive and easy since infospheres are designed to favor information already within the organization. The compact Stop&Think method
is forms-driven and based on the natural structure of language; the tool is a directed semantic wiki built into a Microsoft Excel workbook.
Infospheres are merged into workflow using:
Reconfigured productivity and communication tools.
Collaborative software.
Knowledge sharing structures such as data models, metadata and
web technologies.
